Winning

I am not sure if you’ve been watching the newsOur new elect, President Trump, has been saying thatWe haven’t been winning.That America hasn’t been winning.That our free people don’t win.It’s weird because he mentionsthat we haven’t won wars.That we aren’t victors with spoils.That we aren’t the winners.

I am not sure if you’ve been paying attentionBut I learned in history that we won our freedomIn 1776 and have been standing up for it since.I am not sure if you have been paying attentionBut I have the privilege of going to school and followingAny American dream that I want to liveI am not sure if you’ve been paying attentionBut I watched a video of a scientist put a prostheticOn a veteran and the prosthetic creates the feelingThat he can walk, again.That sounds like a very small thing that is a very big win.For the veteran,Who lost is legsFor his countryA land filled with winners.

And I even saw another videoOf a scientist taking the same technologyAnd giving cats & dogs the same walking winIn this countryA land filled with winners.

But let’s talk about losing.I wonder if we can get healthier options in daycaresI wonder if we can stop losing to CFCS, who only givesEnough of a budget for daycares to fill up our childrenWith processed diets of sugar, sodium, and addictive red dyes.I wonder if we can start winning, again.And free our children from their addictions of sugar.

I wonder if we can get renewable options for energyI wonder if we can stop losing to alternative factsThat our Earth is not warning us of climate changeI wonder if we can start winning, againAnd free our atmosphere from the greenhouse effect.

but these are just some of the things that I want to win.

I wonder if we can sit down with our neighborsAnd listen to their strugglesWith wages, equality, race, living, mental health, sexual abuse,and whatever it is that they need because we are a landfilled with dreams and goal makerswho are always winning.

So, yeah, let’s talk about where we could start winning, again.Because I just watched over a million women stand up and marchBecause they are listening.because they can march.because they are free toand they are free to use their knowledgebecause knowledge is powerAnd that sounds like a very big win

for our Earth and our Children, who will winwith a country filled with winners on their side,boy, are we going to win, big.
